New docs and samples for server-side and command-line Dart apps

The Dart team published new docs and samples showing how to write command-line and server-side apps with Dart. The Dart VM's dart:io library provides access to files, directories, sockets, web sockets, SSL, TCP, UDP, HTTP, and more. Community packages on pub.dartlang.org provide higher-level frameworks and libraries.

The new Command-Line Apps in Dart tutorial teaches you how to build command-line apps. Learn how to use stdin/stdout, command-line arguments, files and directories, and more.

For an in-depth look at how a Dart-based HTTP and Web sockets server is written, check out Walkthrough: Dartiverse Search. This chapter from Dart Up & Running shows how Dart is used for both the client and the server. Bonus: learn how you can connect to Github's API using Dart.
